I haven't heard much from or about him in years. Actually, due to the volume level we used to play his music, I haven't heard nearly as much of anything in years.

I’m not too much on him as a guitar player, but I like how he thinks.

An interesting story from the period right after 9/11 that should leave people with no doubt that he loves America and is willing to put himself on the line for that love.

If you are not aware of who Yngwie is...do a Wiki or Google search. One of the most respected rock guitarists from the 1970s and 80s lays out what America really is to him coming from Europe. He been parodied online after an audio recording was released of him 'releasing the f'n fury' on board an airliner and revealing what a total idiot he is

Fixed it for you.

Yngwie's playing is fast, precise, and rippin' ... but no *soul*, not even a hint, none ... sorry

Although his sentiment regarding America in this vid is spot on ... Thanks Yngwie :)

Happy Independence Day, America

Wow! He’s still alive! lol

I hadn’t heard any of his music since I was a kid. He was(is) an amazing guitarist, but his music is(was) a bit too ‘machine like’ for my taste.

Yea, I saw Yngwie play at a small venue in Columbus, Ohio while in my 20’s. The guy has the fastest fingers I've ever seen on guitar. Sadly the show ended up disappointing because the band was getting drunk and spent the last part of the show switching instruments.

But it is very interesting that business minded Europeans realize the greatness that inherently is our nation. I know a Dutch businessman who moved to Florida and loves it here and told me a few years back how his son went from an under achiever in the Netherlands to an over achiever here. Why? Because his son quickly realized if he worked hard and made lots of money he could actually keep it here.

The SOB Democrats are making sure the achievers will be properly penalized.

Apparently Yngwie’s not a big fan of Lagom. (shock!)

Yngwie’s “Black Star” blew Van Halen’s “Eruption” out of the water in terms of speed. Yngwie is a talented flake, but he is also right with respect to America.
